Over the course of its history, medicine has given special attention to the already diseased individual, focusing on a type of disorder (nosology) rather than on one’s health or the so-called pre-nosological (or pre-illness) conditions, the latter being left in the shade. Those speculations along with latest advances in science and technology combined with worldwide practice and personal experience have led us to conclude that the key link in the modern healthcare strategy, namely, a link of predictive, preventive and personalized medicine (or PPPM) is missing. The link, I would stress, that might exert reliable control over morbidity, mortality and disabling rates and significantly reduce the cost of treatment for those who had fallen ill.

5
To achieve the practical implementation of PPPM concept, it is necessary to create a fundamentally new strategy based upon the pre-early (subclinical) recognition of biomarkers of hidden imbalances and defects long before the illness clinically manifests itself. This strategy would give a real opportunity to secure preventive measures whose personalization could have a significantly positive influence on demographics! (next Fig)

to predict the likelihood of developing disease to estimate the length of the asymptomatic period to provide predictive information about disease course, severity, and complications to serve as a warning to avoid potential disease- triggering factors identify high-risk individuals who might be suitable candidates for preventive intervention trials Impacts to be assumed for the practical implementation of predictive biomarkers into PPPM

7
PPPM as the big change to forecast, to predict and to prevent is rooted in a big and new science to be rooted from the achievements of genomics, proteomics, metabo- lomics and bioinformatics which are being implemented into the daily practice to secure visualizing of lesion foci that was previously unknown to clinicians (next two Figs)

In reality, Genomics as a set of molecular tools to probe genome and to thus identify and to select genomic biomarkers has allowed for identifying newer genes and newer genetic variations that affect health to form subclinical and predictive risks to be screened and unveiled, and then the subclinical pathology to be diagnosed, monitored and terminated to prevent illness (next two Figs)

11
Genomic biomarkers and their impact into pathway-targeted cancer therapies (a)Routine sequencing of cancer genomes will identify many new genes that are involved in cancer; (b)Detailed mechanistic studies will be required to determine how these genes contribute to tumorigenesis and how they influence therapeutic efficacy Genomic biomarkers Genomic biomarkers Genomic biomarkers

13
As an allied portion of genomics and thus an area of study to examine the impact of genetic variations on the response to medications is pharmacogenomics. The latter is aimed at tailoring drug therapy at a dosage that is most appropriate for an individual patient, with the potential benefits of increasing the clinical efficacy and safety. Pharmacogenomics will thus guide therapeutic decisions and monitor the response to therapy on one hand and speed the development of novel therapeutics, on the other one.

14
Well, genes can say a lot about an individual’s predisposition to a disease, but cannot reveal what is happening in cells at the protein level. The latter would attribute to proteomics to identify individual proteins and their epitopes to be valuable for predictive diagnosing and thus may eventually have a great impact on PPPM Predictive & Prognostic Diagnosing Predictive & Prognostic Diagnosing Predictive & Prognostic Diagnosing

16
Meanwhile, a combination of genomic and proteomic biomarkers are becoming of great significance to predict risks of the chronization and thus of disabling since chronic diseases are preceded by a long subclinical (symptom-free) phase or a period of latency (next Fig)

The latter (metabolomics) illustrates the functional state of the cell at the level of metabolism on a real time basis, requiring the use of the term 'metabolome', demonstrating a set of metabolic pathways in the cell at a given time point

21
Tissue-derived information we would accumulate might be combined with the: ● individual's medical records; ● family history; ● data from imaging; ●instrumental and laboratory tests to develop personalized and preventive treatments. But, in this sense, how is the whole databank provided by omics-technologies could be comprehended?

22
It is bioinformatics to suit the goal by applying mathematical modeling techniques to thus secure constructing and maintaining unified biobanks and databanks necessary for personal health monitoring based on principles of genotyping and phenotyping. As a result, the patient becomes a data carrier, whilst learning about possible risks of a disease, and the physician can reasonably select a kind of preventive and personalized protocol rooting from the predictive assays made (next two Figs)

23
The diagram shows the integrated “knowledge environment” that enables clinicians to query critical information from across disparate data sources to find relationships between an individual patient’s EMR information of persons-at-risk family records Bioinformatics would service PPPM

24
By integrating bioinformatics and clinical informatics, both offers unique infrastructure, tools, techniques and applications to bridge those areas. This facilitates the sharing of data and information across diverse disciplines and professional sectors

25
Biobanks would provide the proper information about patient's proteomic, genetic and metabolic profiles to be used to tailor medical care due to the individual's needs and personalized scenarios. An understanding of the factors underlying the burden of a disorder and later on of the clinical illness would provide policymakers, healthcare providers and medical educators with an opportunity to guide preventive initiatives at both individual and community levels (next Fig)

Impact on Sustainability in Three Main Dimensions of Biobanking Biobanking as applicable to PPPM PPPM

27
Well, two key objectives of PPPM are: (i) screening for subclinical imbalances and defects with a pre-selection of suitable targets for the next step of PPPM protocol, i.e., drug-based prevention; (ii) repair of the imbalances and defects mentioned to restore the function and to thus prevent the clinical illness PPPM is thus a model of healthcare services being tailored to the individual and dictates a construction of PPPM-based algorithms to diagnose, to predict, and to prevent in time!

28
● Predictive branch of PPPM is mainly designed to meet the interests of healthy individuals, its purpose being to determine whether susceptibility to a particular disease is increased or not. ●● Preventive branch is aimed at taking measures to avoid development of clinical manifestations rather than cure or treat it on manifestation. ●●● Personalized medicine proposes the customization of healthcare, being tailored to the individual patient and/or to the person-at-risk by the mutual integration of: family history, medical records and other information including genomic, proteomic and metabolomic biomarkers-based profiles to be integrated via bioinformatics

29
PPPM thus uses diagnostic and predictive tests of newer generations based on biomarkers, to individually determine the health conditions a person is predisposed to and to reveal biomarkers of the probable or the already existing pathological processes, and thus to select the targets. PPPM-oriented survey should be based on biomarkers and algorithms to differ essentially from those employed in traditional clinical strategies, namely, (i)algorithms for predictive and subclinical diagnostics on one hand, and (ii) algorithms for preventive therapy, on the other one

30
Individuals, selected in the first stage, undergo the second stage, which uses a panel of phenotypic biomarkers, while monitoring every: ● potential patients, ● persons-at-risks predisposed to the disease, and/or ● persons at subclinical stages of the disease. By illustration and irrespective of the underlying mechanism, the proven predictive ability to accompany the diagnostic and predictive tests has been documented for: (i)HLA-related biomarkers in combination with autoAbs and other biomarkers (e.g., cytokines, autoreactive CTLs, etc) to monitor chronic autoimmune inflammation (T1D, MS, SLE); (ii) genomic biomarkers in combination with cancer-associated antigens and other biomarkers (e.g., components of the signaling pathways defined) to monitor cancerogenesis

31
A strategy of preventive treatment should contain, at least, two critical steps. For chronic autoimmune and/or infectious diseases: (i)quenching of autoagression or blocking the infectious process; and, (ii)restoration of the tissue affected. For cancerogenesis: (i)killing the malignancy and prevention of metastatic formation; (ii)restoration of the primary tissue affected.

34
For this model, about half of the total risk is genetically predisposed, and about half of the risk is in the HLA and other regions to be useful for gene-based predictive testing! HLA-I HLA-III HLA-II

35
Subclinical stages are also determined by identification of proteomic biomarkers, i.e., antiislet autoAbs as early as 5-10 years before the clinical onset of disease (Fig. 54)

36
Tumor initiation is provided by oncogenic mutations and inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes and depends on the stepwise acquisition of specific functions by cancer stem cells (CSC) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to be identified by genomic tailoring approach on one hand and proteomic-immunonomic approaches, on the other hand (Fig. 56) Three different steps are described during cancerogenesis: Initiation Initiation is a rapid and irreversible DNA lesion which occurs after exposure to a carcinogen (physical carcinogen, chemical carcinogen, viral carcinogen) Promotion Promotion is due to prolonged, repetitive or continuous exposure to substances which maintain and stabilize the initiated lesion Progression Progression is the acquisition of non-controlled multiplication properties, independence acquisition, loss of differentiation, local invasion and metastasis

PPPM is a new healthcare model that notifies people of the health conditions they’re disposed to and it reveals the biomarkers and thus the agents to improve and to thus secure the health and individual biosafety. Meanwhile, implementation of PPPM would require the adjusted technology for proper interpretation of diagnostic and predictive data before the current model “physician-patient” could be gradually displaced by a “medical advisor-healthy persons-at-risk” model. This approach should be based on postulates which will change the incarnate culture and social mentality.

39
First of all, it is the impact of human responsibility for the own health and for the health of their children, and active involvement into the preventive measures for strengthening of the public health and country’s biosafety. Secondly, a creation of legal basis to satisfy all society needs for the protection of individual health – regulations of the state insurance in the PPPM. And, thirdly, for sure, it’s necessary to radically change the system of medical training, and designing novel approaches to build the academic schools of new generations

40
Due to our viewpoint, all healthcare professionals of the future should be educated to deliver patient-centric care as members of interdisciplinary teams, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement approaches and bioinformatics. That concerns the need for novel training programs since the society is in bad need of large-scale dissemination of novel systemic thinking and minding. And upon construction of the new educational platforms in the rational proportions, there would be not a primitive physician created but a medical artist to be able to enrich flow-through medical standards with creative elements to gift for a patient a genuine hope to survive but, in turn, for a person- at-risk – a trust for being no diseased. So, the existing medical education would strongly need to be restructured to involve along with traditional graduate and post-graduate training, pre-graduate preliminaries to disclose for schoolchildren the mysteries of the evidence-based medicine and PPPM as the entity

41
Based on current trends and own experience, we have tried a non-canonical approach towards reshuffling the traditional educational tandem “School-University” to create a team of talented and gifted teenagers to be engaged into PPPM-related areas. The Team has been given a roof under the aegis of European Association of Predictive, Preventive and Personalized Medicine (EPMA), Brussels, EU, and started up to move ahead now The First Anglo-Russian Students’ Workshop on PPPM and Translational Medicine Lancaster University 4 th September 2012 Location: TR1/TR2 Gordon Manley building Chairs:Professors Frank Martin, PhD (UK) Director, Environmental and Biophotonics Center, and Chairman, Dept for Biochemistry, Lancaster University, UK Professor Sergey Suchkov, MD, PhD (Russia) Dept of Pathology, School of Pharmacy, I.M.Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, and Dept of Clinical Immunology, Moscow State Medical & Dentistry University, First Vice-President and Dean, School of PPPM, University of World Politics and Law, Moscow, Russia

44
Our global challenge is that the new guidelines should create the robust juristic and economic platforms for advanced medical services utilizing the cost-effective models of risk assessments followed by tailored preventive treatments focused on the precursor stages of chronic diseases

45
Some comments: Individuals to be under regular monitoring that helps to detect pathological shifts at subclinical stages have a higher life expectancy and are able-bodied up to 8–15 years more than those under traditional treatment. This means that the society would save more than US$20,000–40,000 per person annually. At the community level, the annual savings from each individual may vary from several thousands to several tens of thousands U.S. dollars. In the area of oncology, for instance, the latter means that as little as a 10 percent reduction in cancer would translate into a savings of 4.4 trillion US dollars to society. As you might feel, besides the scientific and clinical challenges, there are economic hurdles.

46
The opportunity arises for unusual and, even extraordinary, strategic partnerships between: ► governments, academic and business sectors. The healthcare industry, public policy sector, and consumer industries will be required to develop new and creative business models and products. And, no doubt, next generations will speak about the XXI century as a time, when medicine became preventive and personalized, and its outcomes – predictive and guarantied.
